Heartbreaking: Andrew Eldritch English singer and songwriter Just Passed Away At the Aged of 65….see..more….The Sisters Of Mercy | The Virginmarys
Manchester Academy
21st November 2023
The Sisters of Mercy return to play Manchester with nothing to promote except themselves and nothing to declare but their own genius. Will three albums, some new songs and the odd very old song be enough for the expectant crowd? MK Bennett watches it unfold.
The Virginmarys are already ahead for the sheer chutzpah of the name, no need for a space there, and well, their hometown. They start fiercely, nearly metal but not metal, a sort of old school eighties hardcore ideal (Agnostic Front, Crumbsuckers) a bit Therapy? But also, a big spoon of the Clash, there is some potent sloganeering going on, and the crowd gave them a seal of approval, filling the arena much quicker than the average support act. Good things shall come, an unseemly noise for a duo, its a beautiful sight.
